Does the effect of intermolecular attractive forces on the properties of a gas become more significant or less significant if the gas is compressed to a smaller volume at constant temperature?
more significant because compressing a gas decreases the average distance between the particles in the gas which
Does the effect of intermolecular attractive forces on the properties of a gas become more significant or less significant if the temperature of the gas is increased at a constant volume?
less significant because increasing the temperature of a gas increases the thermal energy of the particles in the gas which decreases the effect intermolecular attractive forces have on properties of gas.
Based on their respective van der Waals constants, is Argon or CO2 expected to behave more nearly like an ideal gas at high pressures? Justify.
Argon would be predicted to behave more like an ideal gas at high pressures since the van der Waals constants for argon are less than those for carbon dioxide, argon has weaker intermolecular attractive forces than carbon dioxide and has a smaller volume.
Which of these are not polar? H2S, PF3, CS2, IBr, and CBr4.
H2S –> bent = polar
PF3 –> trigonal pyramidal = polar
CS2 –> linear = non polar
CBr4 –> tetrahedral = non polar
What are the intermolecular attractive forces which must be overcome to convert each of these molecules into a gas?
– Polar Molecule
– Polar Molecule w/ Hydrogen Atom Covalently Bonded to an O
– Non Polar Molecule
Polar Molecule –> dispersion forces, dipole-dipole

Polar w/ H-O –> dispersion forces, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonds

Non Polar –> dispersion forces

What is meant by the term Polarizability?
a measure of how readily electrons in an atom or molecule move in response to the presence of an instantaneous dipole
Which of the following atoms would you expect to be most polarizable?
– N
– P
– As
– Sb
Antimony (Sb) because it’s valence electrons are farthest from the nucleus and least tightly held.
List the following molecules in order of increasing polarizability:
GeCl4, CH4, SiCl4, SiH4, and GeBr4
Polarizability increases as the # of electrons increases:

CH4 < SiH4 < SiCl4 < GeBr4

What would be the strongest interaction between two molecules of NH3?
The forces of attraction between ammonia molecules are dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions and hydrogen bonds the NH3s would be bonded with a hydrogen since hydrogen bonds are the strongest force
What would be the strongest interaction between two molecules of H2CO?
The forces of attraction between H2CO molecules are dispersion forces and dipole-dipole which means the attraction would have to be an attractive dipole-dipole meaning the O is facing the C on the other molecule
What would be the strongest interaction between two molecules of CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3?
The only force between these two molecules would be dispersion so they would just have to be beside each other in the greatest possible surface are of contact.
Which gas would you expect to deviate most from ideal behavior under conditions of low temperature: F2, Cl2, or Br2?
For gases deviation from ideal behavior at low temperatures arises form intermolecular forces. The stronger the intermolecular forces, the greater the deviation from ideal behavior. All 3 of the molecules are non polar so you only have to focus on the strength of their dispersion forces. The heaviest molecule will have the strongest dispersion forces because dispersion forces increase with increasing molar mass which means that Br2 would deviate most.
List the three states of matter in order of decreasing organization.
solids > liquids > gases
List the three states of matter in order of increasing intermolecular attraction.
gases < liquids < solids
Which state of matter is most easily compressed?
Gasses are the most easy to compress because the particles are far apart and their is much empty space.
What is the difference in boiling points between HF (20 C) and HCl (-85 C)?
HF has dispersion forces, dipole-dipole and hydrogen bonds while HCl only has dispersion forces and dipole-dipole which means that HF will have the higher boiling point since it has the stronger intermolecular forces of hydrogen bonds.
What is the difference in boiling points between CHCl3 (61 C) and CHBr3 (150 C)?
Both of the compounds are polar and have the same intermolecular forces but because the molar mass of CHBr3 is greater that CHCl3 (more electrons) than CHBr3 will have stronger dispersion forces and therefore a higher boiling point.
What does 1-propanol have a boiling point of 97.2 C while a compound with the same molecular formula, ethyl methyl ether boil at 7.4?
1-Propanal can form hydrogen bonds because of it’s OH on the end while ethyl methyl cannot which means that 1-Propanal will have stronger intermolecular forces and therefore a higher boiling point.
List the substances CH3CH3, CH3OH, CH2Cl2 and CH4 in order of increasing delta H of vaporization,
The stronger the intermolecular attractive forces the greater the value of delta H Vaporization. Also when the intermolecular forces are the same between two molecules, the one with the greater mass (more electrons) will have the stronger intermolecular force. Therefore the ranking of delta H vaporization is:

CH4 < CH3CH3 < CH2Cl2 < CH3OH

Which will evaporate more quickly: 25 mL of propanal in a beaker or 25 mL of 1-propanal in an identical beaker under identical conditions?
Proposal only has dispersion forces and dipole-dipole interactions while 1- Propanal has both of these plus hydrogen bonds which means that Propanal will evaporate faster since it has weaker dispersion forces.
A 100 mL sample of water is heated to its boiling point. How much heat (in kj) is required to vaporize it? (Assume a density of 1.00g/mL)
1) mass of water = (1 mL)(1 g/mL) = 100. g

2) moles of water = (100. g)(1/18.02g) = 5.55 mol

3) q = n x delatHvap

q = (5.55 mol)(4.07 kj/mol) = 226 kj

How much heat (in kJ) is evolved in converting 1.00 mol of steam at 145.0 C to ice at -50 C? The heat capacity of steam is 2.01 j/gC.

molar mass of water: 18.05 g/mol
C water: 4.184 j/gC
Delta H condense: -40.7 kj/mol
Delta H freeze: -6.02 kj/mol

Process:
1. Cool steam from 145 C to 100 C
2. Condense steam at 100 C
3. Cool water from 100 C to 0 C
4. Freeze water at 0 C
5. Cool ice from 0 C to -50 C

= 57.8 kj

Which one has the higher melting point: Fe (s) or CCL4 (s)?
Fe because it is an atomic solid held together by metallic bonding.
Which one has the higher melting point: KCl (s) or HCl (s)?
KCL because it is an ionic solid.
Which one has the higher melting point: Ti (s) or Ne (s)?
Ti because it is an atomic solid held together by metallic bonding.
Which one has the higher melting point: H2O (s) or H2S (s)?
H2O because it is capable of hydrogen bonding
What are the trends in types of bonding and melting point?
Metallic bonds = high melting point
Ionic Solids = medium melting point
Hydrogent Bonding = high melting point
Why can graphite conduct electricity but diamond can not?
In graphite, carbon atoms are arranged in sheets. Within each sheet, the atoms are covalently bonded to each other by a network of sigma and pi bonds. The electrons in the extended pi network within a sheet can flow which makes graphite a goo electrical conductor in the direction of the plane sheets. In diamond, each carbon atom forms four covalent bonds to four other carbon atoms in a tetrahedral geometry. The electrons in diamond are confined to the covalent bonds and are not free to flow = no electricity.
Would water or carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) be the best to dissolve LiBr? CH3OH? CH3(CH2)CH2OH?
LiBr –> is an ionic compound which dissolves best in water because of ion-dipole attractive forces

CH3OH –> is a polar compound which dissolves in water because of hydrogen bonding interactions

CH3(CH2)CH2OH –> has a long carbon chain that is hydrophobic which means that it would dissolve in carbon tetrachloride because of dispersion of forces.

Which of the following would be more soluble in water?

Toluene (C7H8) or Diethyl Ether (CH3CH2OCH2CH3)

Diethyl Ether would be more soluble because it is polar and is able to have hydrogen bonding interactions while Toluene is non polar.
Which of the following would be more soluble in water?

Chloroform (CHCl3) or Acetone (CH3COCH3)

Even though they are both polar, acetone would be more soluble because it can have hydrogen bonding with water while chloroform can not.
Which of the following would be more soluble in benzene (C6H6)?

Cyclohexane (C6H12) or Methanol (CH3OH)

Since benzene is non polar, Cyclohexane would dissolve best because it is also non polar while Methanol is polar.
Which of the following would be more soluble in benzene (C6H6)?

I2 or MgCl2

I2 would dissolve best since it is non polar and so is benzene while MgCl2 is polar.
